Abstract Objectives The objective of this study was to assess the resilience of health systems in four governorates affected by conflict from 2014 to 2018, and to convey recommendations. Methods Health managers from Al Anbar, Ninawa, Salah al-Din, and Kirkuk governorates discussed resilience factors of Primary Health Care services affected by the 2014–2017 ISIS insurgency in focus groups, and general discussions. Additional information was gathered from key informants and a UNICEF health facility survey. Three specific aspects were examined: (1) meeting health needs in the immediate crisis response, (2) adaptation of services, (3) restructuring and recovery measures. Data from a MoH/UNICEF national health facility survey in 2017 were analyzed for functionality. Results There were many common themes across the four governorates, with local variations. (1) Absorption The shock to the public sector health services by the ISIS invasion caught health services in the four governorates unprepared, with limited abilities to continue to provide services. Private pharmacies and private clinics in some places withstood the initial shock better than the public sector. (2) Adaptation After the initial shock, many health facilities adapted by focusing on urgent needs for injury and communicable disease care. In most locations, maternal, neonatal, and child health (MNCH) preventive and promotive PHC services stopped. Ill persons would sometimes consult health workers in their houses at night for security reasons. (3) Restructuring or transformative activities In most areas, health services recovery was continuing in 2020. Some heavily damaged facilities are still functioning, but below pre-crisis level. Rebuilding lost community trust in the public sector is proving difficult. Conclusion Health services generally had little preparation for and limited resilience to the ISIS influx. Governorates are still restructuring services after the liberation from ISIS in 2017. Disaster planning was identified by all participants as a missing component, as everyone anticipated future similar emergencies.

Abstract Background: The burgeoning rise of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) is posing serious challenges in resource constrained health facilities of Nepal. The main objective of this study was to assess the readiness of health facilities for cardiovascular diseases (CVDs), diabetes and chronic respiratory diseases (CRDs) services in Nepal. Methods: This study utilized data from the Nepal Health Facility Survey 2015. General readiness of 940 health facilities along with disease specific readiness for CVDs, diabetes and CRDs were assessed using service availability and readiness assessment manual of the World Health Organization (WHO). Health facilities were categorized into public and private facilities. Results: Out of a total of 940 health facilities assessed, private facilities showed higher availability of items of general service readiness, except for standard precautions for infection prevention, compared to public facilities. The multivariable adjusted regression coefficients for CVDs (β=2.87, 95%CI: 2.42-3.39), diabetes (β =3.02, 95%CI: 2.03-4.49) and CRDs (β=15.95, 95%CI: 4.61-55.13) at private facilities were higher than the public hospitals. Health facilities located in hills had higher readiness index for CVDs (β=1.99, 95%CI: 1.02 - 1.39). Service readiness for CVDs (β=1.13, 95%CI: 1.04-1.23) and diabetes (β=1.78, 95%CI: 1.23-2.59) were higher in the urban municipalities than in rural municipalities. Finally, disease related services readiness index was sub-optimal with some degree of variation at the province level in Nepal. Compared to province 1, Province 2 (β=0.83, 95%CI: 0.73-0.95), and province 4 (β =1.24, 95%CI: 1.07-1.43) and province 5 (β =1.17, 95%CI: 1.02-1.34) had higher readiness index for CVDs.Conclusions: This study found sub-optimal readiness of services related to three NCDs at the public facilities in Nepal. Compared to public facilities, private facilities showed higher readiness score for CVDs, diabetes and CRDs. To cope up with the growing burden of NCDs, urgent improvement in health services, particularly in public facilities are critical to manage common NCDs.
